Real Questions · Honest Answers

What people actually want to know

No jargon. Straight answers grounded in 12+ years of therapeutic teaching.

Is There an English-Speaking Yoga Studio in Hai Duong?

Yes — Yog Jivan Sanctuary is the established English-speaking yoga home in Hai Duong. Every class, in-studio or online, is taught personally by Master Anil Choudhary in clear, warm English. No Vietnamese is required. You'll find yourself practising alongside professionals, teachers, families and long-term expats from India, the USA, Canada, Australia, France, the UK, Germany, Singapore and beyond — many of whom have been with us for years. It is a genuinely international, genuinely welcoming space.

  • Every class taught personally by Master Anil, in clear English.
  • No Vietnamese required at any point — from first message to the mat.
  • A settled international community — India, USA, UK, France, Australia, Singapore and more.
  • Two premium studios in Hai Duong city, easy to reach.
  • Small batches (max 8) so you are known by name from day one.

What's It Like Practicing Yoga as an Expat Here?

Warm, unhurried and quietly international. The studios in Hai Duong were built as a sanctuary — soft light, natural materials, silence between the classes — and the community that fills them is people who have chosen to live thoughtfully. There is no gym-culture pressure, no comparison, no rushed check-in. Master Anil learns each new student personally — your history, what you're working with, what you're hoping for — before any class begins, so you are met exactly where you are. Expats often tell us it becomes the calmest hour of their week.

  • Small, welcoming international community — you'll recognise faces quickly.
  • Sanctuary-style studios — soft light, natural materials, quiet arrivals.
  • No gym-culture pressure or performance mindset.
  • Master Anil learns each student personally before you step on the mat.
  • Often becomes 'the calmest hour of the week' for people navigating expat life.

Can I Continue Classes Online If I Travel or Move?

Yes — and this is one of the quiet advantages of practising with Yog Jivan. Because every class is led personally by Master Anil, in-studio and online, students move between the two seamlessly. Travelling for work or a holiday? Continue live on Zoom from your hotel or Airbnb. Moving out of Vietnam? Your practice — the same teacher, the same cues, the same community — continues from your next city. Many of our current online students started in-studio in Hai Duong years ago and never wanted to leave the teacher behind.

  • Same teacher, same cues, same community — whether in-studio or online.
  • Travel-friendly: continue live from hotels, Airbnbs, extended trips.
  • Relocation-friendly: your practice moves with you to the next country.
  • Many long-term online students began in-studio in Hai Duong.
  • Members receive a 48-hour catch-up recording if a live class is missed.

How Do I Get Started?

The easiest way is to send a short message on WhatsApp or Zalo — the same channels the rest of our expat community uses. We'll set up a free consultation with Master Anil (a real conversation, not a sales call), understand what you're looking for and any health context that matters, and invite you to a complimentary trial: 3 days of group class access plus one private session, no card required. You can begin in-studio, online, or both. There is no long onboarding — most new expats are on the mat within the same week they first message us.

  • Message us on WhatsApp or Zalo — the channels our community already uses.

  • Complimentary trial: 3 days of group classes + one private session.
